An object of the present disclosure is to implement, at a low cost, highly accurate color calibration in a printing apparatus that performs printing using fluorescent ink. One embodiment of the present invention is an image processing apparatus that includes: a processing unit configured to perform processing relating to color calibration in a printing apparatus that prints an image on a printing medium using fluorescent printing material; and an execution unit configured to perform calibration processing of the printing apparatus based on a measured value that is obtained by measuring a patch chart for obtaining information on an amount of application of the fluorescent printing material in the printing apparatus, wherein a patch included in the patch chart is printed with the fluorescent printing material and subtractive color mixture printing material and at least one dot of the subtractive color mixture printing material covers a dot of the fluorescent printing material.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium

A method for controlling a charging of a battery pack for a portable electronic device. The battery pack includes one or more cell blocks, each having a plurality of battery cells connected in parallel. The method includes the following steps. Determining, for each of the one or more cell blocks, a value of a first charging current flowing through a first battery cell that has the smallest capacity among the plurality of battery cells. Comparing, for each of the one or more cell blocks, the value of the first charging current with a first overcurrent value of the first battery cell to detect overcurrent in the first battery cell. Generating, in response to detecting the overcurrent in the first battery cell of any of the one or more cell blocks, a first overcurrent signal to reduce a total charging current of the battery pack.

Charging control method of a battery pack for portable electronic devices

A printing apparatus comprises a decision unit configured to decide a ratio of ink application amounts of the fluorescent ink and the other ink respectively in each of the plurality of scans. The decision unit decides the ratio of the ink application amount of the fluorescent ink in each of the plurality of scans so that the amount of the coloring material of the fluorescent ink in a surface of an ink layer of the printing medium is less than the amount of the coloring material of the fluorescent ink in an inside of the ink layer of the printing medium.

Printing apparatus and printing method

A printing apparatus comprises a determination unit configured to, in a case where fluorescent ink is used in printing of an image, determine an order of printing by the fluorescent ink and printing by the light emission suppressing ink that suppresses light emission of the fluorescent ink, in the plurality of scans. The determination unit determines the order of the printing by the fluorescent ink and the printing by the light emission suppressing ink such that the fluorescent ink is printed to be in a layer lower than the light emission suppressing ink in a region of a dark portion of the image.

A charging controller includes a current measurement unit configured to measure a charging current of a rechargeable battery, a detection unit configured to detect switching from a constant current charge to a constant voltage charge based on the charging current measured by the current measurement unit, during charge of the rechargeable battery, and an update unit configured to update a full charge capacity of the rechargeable battery based on a charged capacity after the point in time, detected by the detection unit, of switching from the constant current charge to the constant voltage charge.

Charing controller, rechargeable battery, electronic device, and control method

A method is provided for controlling a discharge of a battery pack that supplies power to a portable electronic device. The battery pack has one or more cell blocks each having a plurality of battery cells connected in parallel. The method includes the following steps. Determining, for each of the one or more cell blocks, a value of a first supply current flowing through a first battery cell that has the smallest capacity among the plurality of battery cells. Comparing, for each of the one or more cell blocks, the value of the first supply current with a first overcurrent value of the first battery cell to detect overcurrent in the first battery cell. Generating, in response to detecting the overcurrent in the first battery cell of any of the one or more cell blocks, a first overcurrent signal to reduce the power supplied to the portable electronic device.
